17-Year-Old Girl Pitches To Tampa Bay Rays

A young girl pitched to The Tampa Bay Rays before Monday night’s game.

According to ESPN, 17-year-old Chelsea Baker pitched to some of the Ray’s players before their game against Pittsburgh Monday night. It was Tampa Bay’s manager, Joe Maddon, who invited Baker to the team’s field after meeting her at an awards ceremony.

Maddon was very impressed by Baker, even tweeting after her visit to the Ray’s field that her “knuckleball is real.”

Chelsea’s knuckleball is real. She hit Longo in the back. I loved it. With that pitch & her composure she can compete pic.twitter.com/m91X3rZR3G
